He’d missed her touch.He’d take her anger as long as she needed.He feasted his eyes on the glide of her tongue over her bottom lip.“You alone have that kind of power over me.”
“I wouldn’t ask that of you.It is who you are.The only thing I’d ask is for your fidelity.Do I have that?”
“Always, Dollface.I love you, Doctor Xolani Coleman.There has never been another person like you.I want to spend our lives together eternally.”
Her face blossomed into the most radiant smile he’d ever seen.Her eyes never left his and he could feel the love she held in her heart for him.Her soulful eyes tearing up.Even her tears were beautiful.He stroked her cheek while softly wiping away the moisture.He pulled her into his arms, loving how she melted against his body.Showing that she belonged there.
She raised her head and pressed her lips close to his.
He could not resist kissing her.Filled with all the love and passion he needed to give her, nothing about the kiss was sweet.
When she pulled away from him, she was panting softly.“Not going to lie, that kiss was everything.”She grinned at him.“One thing I need to know though...what is your name?”
He kissed the tip of her nose and replied, “It’s just Dirge.”
“Well, I love you too, Dima the humanish one and Dirge the demon.”
“Ahh baby doll, we have a lot of time to make up.”
“That we do, now take me home.You can drive, can’t you?”
He laughed.“Yeah.”
“Ok then, let’s grab the keys and start our making up.
He smiled and grabbed the keys off her desk as she picked up her purse.He would have to tread carefully to not make major mistakes.But he understood he might still make some.Even demons had their flaws.He was so happy she’d decided to look past his.
